Happy Australia Day



...Head down to the Rocks...where the Sydney bridge and Opera House are in view....listen to some good music and join in the spirit of Australia Day. But hello! It is pissing down.....so my sister decides it is not for her..one ice cream and she splits and I wonder around in my plastic poncho like a giant condom waiting to meet friends to see the movie 'Australia" at Mrs Macquaries Chair...and outdoor cinema where the screen comes out of the sea.  I take shelter and land up talking to this drunk Aboriginal  gentleman... the real Oz...." So mate you are talking to one of the notorious Australian robbers" "not a murderer I enquire" "No never killed anyone, and what's more I don't swear..I'm a Christian you know, and most of my people don't believe in Jesus..'cos he was a white bloke...so picture the scene..I rob a bank and don't use the F word, I just say give us your frigging money! Only shit is I got caught but I done my time!" I checked I still had my bag under my poncho, bid him farewell and went to meet my friends.  We walked round the bay, beautiful, steamy and wet...the outdoor cinema is spectacular the city skyline as the back drop. Everyone dressed in Plastique so CHic!.....Nicole Kidman comes up on the screen ...Hugh Jackman follows her....and the water follows them.....NO! I was really getting into it....although within an hour I was dripping wet and the group that I was with were ready to leave....Oz you are a washout!
